Jill Stein Hypocrisy

Jill Stein Hypocrisy — Green Party candidate Jill Stein lost the respect of the thinking people when she began raising money to contest election results in three states — Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — won by Donald Trump by a percentage point.

Hypocrite Jill Stein

She is demanding a hand recount which would make it impossible for the results to be confirmed before the Electoral College meets on Dec. 19. This obviously and irresponsibly throws the transfer of power into turmoil and creates havoc in governance.

It should be noted that no recount has ever overturned the results of an election decided by the margins of victory — about 10,000 in Michigan, 30,000 in Wisconsin and 70,000 in Pennsylvania — in the places being questioned by Stein.

Her rationale is based on the unsubstantiated claim that voting machines were hacked. Not only has there been no evidence presented for this, it is laughably unfounded.

It is noteworthy that Stein did not target states in which Hillary won by similarly small margins, namely Minnesota and New Hampshire, or states in which those here illegally are suspected to have voted in substantial numbers such as New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada and could very well have provided her victory in those places.

The results in all three states would need to be overturned to keep Trump from victory, which is basically an impossibility. If the electors, however, could be merely kept from being seated until Dec. 19, well, that is arguably a doable scheme, right George Soros?
